Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bit in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring information on at least one offset for HARQ-ACK; obtaining at least one HARQ-ACK bit, based on a number of cells and a number of transport blocks for each of the cells; determining a number of coded symbols for the at least one HARQ-ACK bit, based on a number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit and one offset of the at least one offset, wherein the one offset is identified according to the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit; obtaining coded HARQ-ACK bits based on a (32,O) block code, wherein O is the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit; and transmitting the coded HARQ-ACK bits in the PUSCH, based on the number of coded symbols for the at least one HARQ-ACK bit.
